Payment of utility bills in March for residents of Voronezh will be higher than usual. This is not a rate increase, the payment will be one-time and is tied to the recalculation for the maintenance of the Common House Property (SOI). The new abbreviation appeared on receipts in 2017, and along with it, the principle of calculation, fixed in the Housing Code, also changed. According to the legislation, the payment of communal resources for the maintenance of common property is charged according to consumption standards.
At the end of February, experts in the field of housing and communal services met at the House of Journalists and worked on all issues related to the additional charges for SDI. This issue was addressed only after the issuance of a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation in 2022, which established the procedure for recalculation. And it will be produced in homes where there are common household measuring devices. And since the payment for heating increased by 9% in December, additional charges for SOI will be made in March-April.
An individual recalculation will be carried out by the management companies of the houses. In addition, for each house, the loads will depend on the state of the domestic hot water system of the common house and the declaration procedure with the residents for the individual consumption of resources.
The biggest increase will be in cold water consumption, and this is due to general house cleaning, summer watering, or leaks. A hot water line break is visible in the steam and is quickly repaired. Cold water consumption, according to the observations of Olga Dyatlova, head of Expert Housing LLC, today exceeds the norm by 2-3 times. As a result, payment amounts will also increase. Electricity consumption for general household needs was exceeded by 1.5 times.
The amount you have to pay depends on many factors. For example, from the apartment area, the presence of an elevator in the house and centralized hot water supply. Experts were unable to accurately determine the average value.
- In 75% of cases, the recalculation for the whole year will not exceed one thousand rubles. At the same time, someone can have a hundred rubles and someone can have two thousand, predicted Elena Koveshnikova, deputy head of the state of Voronezh Oblast Zhiy.
